Wow, I never realized there was such an issue, but ya I litterally rolled into a muffler shop and said that I think my cat is plugged, and 30 min. later I was on the road again.
So I guess I'm shopping for a cat, but honestly I hate the exhaust sound after it was gutted anyway.... I hope in some way that this fixes my problem though.

 

It is so easy to have a cat gutted, but I changed one and sold the take off for $115....so no gutting for me! It just doesn't pay (pun intended....)
